Abstract:
      Based on microwave-assisted extraction-liquid chromatography and hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry, an analytical method for speciation of arsenic containing compound (arsenite As(III), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and arsenate As(V)) in the Tai lake sediment was developed. The results showed that the main speciation in sediments is inorganic arsenic and arsenate As(V) is the majority of the speciation. This paper chose 1 mol/L phosphoric acid as extracting solution and the microwave-assisted extraction was conducted for 12 mins with a power of 60 W. The extraction rates were in the range of 79.84%~91.57%. The linear responses for four arsenic species were in the range of 0~160 μg/L with the limits of detection in the range of 0.6~2.3 μg/L, and the recovery rates in the range of 94.78%~107.6%. The developed method is simple, rapid and sensitive, and may be applicable for arsenic speciation in other sediments or soil samples.
